1. Knee joint laxity and kinematics after anterior cruciate ligament rupture : roentgen stereophotogrammetric and clinical evaluation before and after treatment
Abstract : Rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) increases anterior-posterior (AP) laxity. The treatment aims to reduce or teach the patient to control this instability. Altered kinematics due to absent ligament function may result in knee arthrosis. This study evaluated the clinical and functional results of reconstructive surgery. READ MORE

2. The impact of age and gender with respect to general joint laxity, shoulder joint laxity and rotation : a study of 9, 12 and 15 year old students
Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to study the natural development of general joint laxity, shoulder joint laxity and shoulder joint rotation in young students, and compare these to age-matched competitive swimmers to detect possible discrepancies between these groups. A further aim was to evaluate the clinical examination techniques used whether they correlate to each other in search of better understanding and interpretation of achieved measurement results.

3. Sagittal plane knee translation in healthy and ACL deficient subjects : a methodological study in vivo with clinical implications
Abstract : This study on human subjects, comprises of four cross sectional and one prospective cohort study. The general purpose of this work was to develop a technique for measuring in vivo, sagittal anterior-posterior translatory motions in the knee joint using a computerized electrogoniometer (CA-4000, OS Inc., Hayward CA, USA).

4. Acute anterior cruciate ligament injuries : evaluation of surgical och non-surgical treatment
Abstract : This study comprising 6 separate papers is concerned with the treatment of patients with acute anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. The aim was to compare primary surgical and non-surgical ACL treatment. Treatment was, therefore, instituted at random in all consecutive patients (n = 293) with ACL injury. READ MORE

5. Rehabilitation and Evaluation after Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury : Function, Stability and Postural Control
Abstract : Traditionally, the success of treatment after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury has been judged from the recovery of muscle strength and knee range of motion (ROM), but also from the static knee stability after ACL reconstruction. However, since the sensory role of the ACL and surrounding tissues for the functional stability of the knee has been documented, the measurement of proprioceptive function related to knee stability is likely to become important in this evaluation.
